Job Description

The Hydrology Group at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory develops resilient and sustainable solutions for complex, national and global scale challenges in energy and water systems using advanced computational modeling, sensor development and deployment, and novel geospatial and data analytics. We seek subsurface scientists who are able to lead research in support of existing and emerging federally funded programs focused on characterization, initiation, and control in subsurface environments. This includes application areas of environmental management and remediation, subsurface reservoir engineering, and subsurface energy.

Successful candidates will be responsible for software tool development for a number of subsurface hydrologic applications. Such applications include employing physic- based machine learning algorithms for carbon sequestration and incorporating geo-based knowledge into multiphase flow reservoir simulators. The successful candidate will be required to prepare manuscripts for publication and present their work both internally and externally at national conferences. The successful candidate will be comfortable working with a diverse set of research staff and project tasks, and possess the appropriate analytic, task management, and communication skills (both oral and written) to clearly articulate the objectives and outcomes of their research.
